HA! finger pic added..get a load of that!
He he - yeah, I hear ya Giz. The nitro fantasy world kicks the real worlds butt
You don't do things by half do ya bro - nasty job on the finger, but at least it's still all there. Seen a lot worse in my line of work, but it still got me wincing at the thought Hope it heals real quick for you so you can be gunning that 66 in a little while from now

Very Carefully is the word for the month..hehe..trouble is when you're driving and not concentrating on the finger it tends to try and bend at the same time as the second finger I'm using on the throttle..OUCH!.My futaba 3pks is a heavy handset as well and it's not easy to hold firm with only 2 little fingers holding the grip..Supposed to have the stitches out tomorrow but the nurse says not likely the way it's healing..I'm betting several weeks before it's healed and then I bet I lose some flexibility in it due to the scar tissue just on the inside of the joint..

The lesson is don't put your figgin hand in the baling machine..

Mark does some crank work as well for the full stage 5 but that will cost you 125 bucks for the p/r/s as well as 120 bucks for the work so 245 total...I asked him what the stage 5 p/r/s would cost and he said 179 bucks plus postage..My crank pin is knackered..worn to a taper cause the crank was spinning at an angle as the bearing pushed out the bottom of the crankcase..I bet the new rod and pin I just fitted are ruined as well..certainly won't risk using them in anything else..so I am left with the MM5 p/r/s which I had ready in case I needed a replacement for my 7 port which was my main race motor..I should imagine the reworked sleeve will be fine with a standard crank..ask Mark to be sure..or you could always get him to just rework a crank..I don't know if crank pins can be repaired/replaced but I'm happy to include the crank at no extra cost if it can be fixed..

Well I got to around tank 10 with my Powerhouse mods 3 port race and its really running well. It has awesome throttle response and power output is increasing on each tank. Before todays 3 tanks I had the break in shim in I took it out for today. This mill is gonna be awesome. My PTM 5 port will be put up for just in case or if I ever go back to truggy.

im pretty happy with 12 months racing and approx 40 litres through it!

it was absolutely flying on Sunday and i think Flanno was almost going to have to excuse himself for a bit of "quiet time" at one point after he drove it

I ran my 7 port for the first time on Monday. I'm running an OS carb and had some issues at first but got it started up and running decently. Top end still needed tuning but that's not what I stopped running.

One of the MIDDLE fins on the cooling head BROKE and was just laying on the one under it! How does this even happen? I didn't have any major spills and the wing and body protect the head so I'm still not sure how this even happened? Maybe the previous owner had a spill and didn't know?

Anyone got a 7 port head they don't want? I just need the head, not the button.
